Ugliest Car Ever.

So I've seen one of these cars drifting around town a few times in the last couple of months. Didn't know where it came from, or what car company makes it until yesterday. The car: The Nissan Cube, the ugliest car I've ever seen.


There's also a bit of an inside joke here for those of us who are graphics-savvy, or anyone who's used photoshop for more than a bit, too. Those of us proficient in Photoshop, and observed graphics newbies use photoshop, know how horrid it is when people for the first time discover Photoshop's 'layer Effects'. Specifically: Bevel & Emboss. I even had a university graphics prof once that loved using these and other photoshop effects at their default settings. Ugh. You'd hope, though, that designers who work for Billion-dollar car manufacturers would be more Photoshop-savvy, and more artistically inclined, than to fall into the trap of using these cliché effects at all. Unfortunately not. The Nissan Cube, at first glance, looks like it was conceptualized by an 8 year old during their first exposure to Photoshop - and I would know. It looks like the most basic car shape, with oddly-rounded windows cut out, and then almost the default Bevel & Emboss Effect applied to it.
